FO: Honey Bee

Since class is finally over, I have time to do whatever I want. This usually consists of lazing around, cleaning (I like cleaning) and knitting. However, MJ chooses to break me out of my self imposed solitude, so yesterday she came over, and we had 'supermodel documentary hour'

Since it was positively gorgeous outside (that's new, considering as I write this, it's gray and rainy, rather similar to Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, which I highly recommend. It's French and a musical!) we both took photos of our respected FO's. So I introduce you to Honey Bee.

FO: Honey Bee
Pattern: My own
Yarn: Cascade 220 in 8555 (Black) and 7827 (Yellow) 1 skein each
Being in marching band, usually means that I have to haul my ass out onto a 1000 degree or a 20 degree field and play the clarinet while running around. Not an easy feat. To ease the pain of nearly freezing off my hands, I made myself the fingerless mittens with a flip top, cute honeybee button included. The pattern is my own, but it's really basic mitten construction, nothing too difficult. I've waxed poetic about Cascade, and I don't think I need to do it again, although I'm seriously considering investing in a winder, because I will never stop buying this stuff. Ever.
